The purpose of the commission in going to
Gettysburg was, as everybody knows, except
this alleged correspondent of the Argus, to
determine the positions of the Maine regi-
ments and batteries that took part in the
battle, with view to marking the spots
with monuments for which the State appro-
priated ST., 800. which win no doubt be in
creased by private subscription. Not one me-
mortal, but fourteen, are intended and they
are to be distributed over an area of many
miles In circumference. No design for sin
gle one Of those monuments has been thought
of, much less fixed upon. But according to
this alleged correspondent of the Argus the
programme has all been changed and 1t is
now proposed to erect one memorial which
will command more attention than any 9TH
er on the historic field" "No hasty cut, nor
in fact any sketch" adds the alleged corre
spondent, "can convey an adequate idea of
its grand sedateness." And we may add that
no language can convey an adequate idea Of
the grand impudence of the Philadelphia cor
respondent who palmed this stuff off on to
the Argus. Our contemporary as general
thingis not easily imposed upon. Success in
this instance is probably due to the fact
that the despatch arrived late at night when
the editors were weary and the electric
lights were dimly burning We have heard
Illuminated that this despatch was not des-
patch at all, that it was concocted in Port
land, Maine; but we can't believe that.
There is nobody in Portland that could be
guilty Of such stupid laundering.

The amount Of transformation about the

The PRESS said the Democratic State

condemned Collector Anderson for not turn

because Mr.. Graves was retained in the pos

both of them are true

An American correspondent who witnessed
the parade of Mexican regular soldiers
speaks very enthusiastically of their appear
ance and discipline. In the procession every
branch of the service, even to the wagon
trains, the pack mules and the ambu-
lance corps were represented Every
weapon and implement was in its
place, and not a strap was missing.
At a days notice, it is said, Mexico could
start fully equipped army Of $4,000 regular
soldiers for the Rio Grande. Even when the
United States regular army could be gath
cred into one place it would number little
more than half the Mexican army. These
facts, however, do not tend to show the
slightest danger that Mexico meditates the
conquest Of the United States The fire.

bearing in their arms fruits, grain, flowers
and various specimens of their handiwork.

IaDulator Chase has emerged from his OBJ
scurity long enough to launch what the Ar
gus describes as quite political sensation"
1t consists OF an allegation founded on no
evidence that could gain foot-hold for mo-
ment many court in christendom that SEN
ator Frye voted against the Tabulator's con-
frmation as collector of internal revenue be-
cause the Tabulator prosecuted a certain
man who had been guilty of selling liquor
without paying the United States tax. The
Tabulator evidently would like to make it
appear that he was martyred on account of
his righteousness, but he will never do it bv
such absurd stories as this. Everybody
knows that the Maine Senators were opposed
to his confirmation from the day that his
name was sent into the Senate, and that the
reason was the part he took in the count-out
iniquity If the Tabulator wants to kick
the man who is responsible for his not nov
being collector of internal revenue of tho

Under the present law of the State, the
penalties for murder in the first and second
degrees are the same, namely, Imprisonment
for life. Graves crime was committed, how
ever, before capital punishment was repealed
and lawyers have said that If convicted of
murder in the first degree he must be hanged
unless the Governor interposed and commut-
ed the punishment to Imprisonment for life.
His conviction of murder in the second de-
gree saves him from that danger, but SUBJ
jects him to the highest penalty prescribed
by the existing law. 1t is difficult to see
how the jury arrived at the conclusion that
his crime was less than murder in the first
degree, for the testimany for the State, which
they must have believed to find any verdict
against him at all, showed that the murder
was deliberate and committed with express
malice Still, as their verdict subjects
Graves to the full penalty of the present
law, the public will not quarrel with it.
